Broadcom Inc. revealed that it is advancing its collaboration with NVIDIA to bring the latest AI technology to VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF). With this move, enterprises and cloud service providers will gain the ability to build, deploy, and scale advanced AI models on state-of-the-art AI servers within their private cloud environments while continuing to build on the trusted reliability of VCF.
As generative, agentic, and physical AI applications continue to reshape data center architectures, businesses face an urgent need for powerful infrastructure capabilities. Broadcom’s extended integration with NVIDIA addresses this demand by introducing support for NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs, including the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Server Edition, as well as NVIDIA’s high-speed networking solutions. By delivering more flexibility, choice, and efficiency, these advancements empower VCF customers to fully capitalize on NVIDIA’s AI innovation. The upgrades also enhance the jointly developed VMware Private AI Foundation with NVIDIA, giving enterprises a stronger platform to adopt AI.
